Each day, the Carlingford ferry brings people over the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, in an era the debate on Brexit is predominant. The crossing obliges the passengers to reflect on the future form of the frontier, hidden somewhere in the sea. We meet several characters from North and South, with different points of view, making this soothing journey through the magnificent Irish landscape. The film explores the concept of identity and community and creates a kaleidoscopic narrative based on how people’s daily lives and thoughts relate to this imaginary line. How visible would the borderline eventually become?
